Pros
Being laid off in December2025. Leaving this environment was a massive weight off my shoulders; it is the escape I needed from a culture that has become fundamentally disconnected from its own mission.
Cons
The culture is heavily politics-driven, prioritizing optics and favoritism over modernization. A toxic attachment to legacy technology persists because the CEO’s 'inner circle' lacks the technical depth required to lead a modern robotics firm. Without objective oversight, the result is significant fiscal mismanagement and wasted capital Leadership lacks the courage to challenge this dysfunction. Managers focus purely on political survival, 'ducking' from a CEO who treats staff like 'just a number' while they quietly wait for shares to vest. Career growth is stagnant for those outside the clique; 'high standards' are weaponized to deny advancement to staff, while the leadership tier is shielded from any real accountability for their lack of technical understanding. It feels like being an expert hired into a retirement home run by political cliques. You spend your days teaching the 'residents' (upper management) how to use the technology they claim to master, while the supervisors stay quiet and watch the clock until they can collect their payout.
